Sanford and Townsend: Smoke From a Distant FireTidal StreamingThis pooped up as a Roon recommendation. Wow does this bring back memories! The title track from this album got a lot of air play the summer in between high school and college. And back in those days our options for music at the beach were pretty much limited to the radio, so we heard this one a lot.

But in spite of all that exposure on the road the group was never again able to crack the Top 40, earning them the title of being yet another "One Hit Wonder."Just as an aside, there is a link to a Wikipedia page about the one hit wonders from 1955 through 2017. I had a lot of "oh wow" moments as I read through that list.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_one-hit_wonders_in_the_United_StatesYes, a quite familiar song. But I wasnt familiar with the band name. This was a couple of years post college for me.
